Can worksite enforcement alone solve our nations immigration problems?
An enforcement-only approach will not fix this problem. We must find a way to meet our nation’s temporary workforce needs in a legal manner while also securing the border and enforcing the interior. Ultimately, this will require Congress to act on comprehensive reform. Nevertheless, our Department will not turn a blind eye toward illegality. We will continue to meet our obligations to the American people under the law, which includes enforcing the rules at worksites.
